Phnom Penh (FN), Feb. 12 – The Royal Government of Cambodia expressed regrets over the decision of European Commission regarding the unjust decision on the temporary partial withdrawal of Everything But Arms (EBA) trade preferences.

“The Royal Government regrets the unjust decision of the European Commission (EC) on 12 February 2020 on the temporary partial withdrawal of Everything But Arms (EBA) trade preferences under Article 19 of the Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP) Regulation of the European Union,” Cambodia’s Foreign Affairs wrote in the statement dated Wednesday.

“Despite grounding on the EU’s values and principles of human rights and democracy, the decision is politically driven and is devoid of objectivity and impartiality, two fundamental principles which are to be expected from the EC as a supra-national body,” the statement added.
